    Three series of aromatic copolyesters derived from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and poly(hexamethylene terephthalate) (PHT) have been synthesized by melt polycondensation in which ...

    Effect of alkaline conditions on near-field processes of a spent nuclear fuel geological repository 

    Martínez Torrents, Albert (Date of defense: 2015-03-17)

    The contact ofthe spent nuclear fuel (SNF) with water dueto a failure in the canister would be a conservative but still plausible hypothesis in the safety assesment of a deep geologic repository (DGR). Concrete and ...
